After a nice day at home, Lori and Tamara headed for a 4 a.m. pickup at the Dole processing facility in Yuma, AZ to pick up a load of "salad-in-a-bag" headed for Springfield, Ohio. A quick check of the weather forecast for the next couple of days convinced Tamara to stay south as long as possible to avoid the snow that was forecast from Flagstaff into New Mexico. The trade-off was having to deal with gusty winds and blowing dust across southern Arizona, not to mention an additional 260 miles. On some trips, you just have to make a choice between the lesser of two evils and deal with the consequences.
They're scheduled to be in Ohio by Saturday afternoon.
About This Site
This blog is primarily intended to keep our family and friends up-to-date on where we are and where we’re going as we drive around the country as long-haul truckers. But it’s also a chance to share some observations about life on the road and life in general.
The title is a reference to one of the things we find so attractive about driving a truck (which weighs 40 tons – 80,000 pounds – when fully loaded); it allows us to travel all over this great country of ours, see the sights, and get paid while we're doing it!
